Power Outage Disrupts Election Tribunal Judgment In Delta

Power outage has disrupted the long-awaited Friday’s judgement by the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Asaba.

The sitting billed to start at 10:00 a.m was therefore put on hold temporarily following the power failure which threw the court into utter darkness.

TribuneOnline gathered that for about one hour 17 minutes, the judgement did not commence due to the generating set which developed a fault.

The tribunal chairman, Justice Sulaiman Belgore, thereafter announced the temporary suspension shortly after he led other Justices and made a formal introduction of members of the tribunal to the court.

It was gathered that the generating set had developed a fault from the outset on Friday morning as it was tripping off and on intermittently.
